Louiza Bardan

Mezzo-soprano Louiza Bardan was born in Odessa, Ukraine. At the age of six, she began her musical training at the renowned Stolyarsky Music School for Gifted Children, where she studied voice and choral conducting. At just 13 years old, she appeared on stage at the Odessa National Theater under the baton of conductor Oksana Lyniv. She made her opera debut as Glascha in Janáček’s “Katja Kabanova” at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein. Further engagements have taken her to the Theater Mönchengladbach, among other venues, where she appeared as Sister Mathilde in Poulenc’s “Dialogues des Carmélites” and as the Sorceress in Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas”.
Her opera roles include, among others, the Child, the Cat, and the Squirrel in Maurice Ravel’s “L’enfant et les sortilèges”, La Ciesca in Giacomo Puccini’s “Gianni Schicchi”, Olga in P. I. Tchaikovsky’s “Eugene Onegin”, and Endimione in Francesco Cavalli’s “La Calisto”.
In 2026, Louiza Bardan successfully completed her master’s degree in opera singing at the Robert Schumann University of Music in Düsseldorf under Prof. Konrad Jarnot. She furthered her artistic training through bel canto studies at the Accademia del Belcanto Rodolfo Celletti in Martina Franca, Italy. As a recipient of the Germany Scholarship from the Live Music Now Foundation and the Elisabeth & Bernhard Weik-Foundation, and through master classes with renowned singers such as Jennifer Larmore, Vivica Genaux, and Barbara Frittoli, she has continuously developed her artistic profile. In addition to her opera work, she is a sought-after concert singer and has performed at venues including the Düsseldorf Schumann Festival and the Tonhalle Düsseldorf.
